PRAYERS

Ooh baby, look what we found
There ain't no holding me down
Think times are changing around
There ain't no breaking me
Ooh baby, look what we found
There ain't no holding me down
Think times are changing around
There ain't no breaking me

Yeah
The prayers hit the most when they not in a post
Tried to do it my own way, was becoming a ghost
Glad I made it out of the storm, it was all I hoped
Instead of thinking of man above, some would rather boast
I pray the Lord forgive when I tried to cope
He gonna be my only judge when it's time to go
I tried to do what's right living by an oath
Rest in peace to my brother Specs, hope one day we toast
Remember days in my youth I was cutting it close
Bringing worry to all the people that love me the most
I seen people change coming out the cloak
Reason why I had to cut 'em off, it was nothing but growth
There ain't no hate in my heart, love the only approach
I'm praying my generation is finally woke
I pray my daughters can hear this and fill them with hope
I'm praying for all my fam on each side of the coast

I'm praying through these urges
Prayers don't mean a thing if you ain't finna put the work in
Sacrificing pieces of my life inside of these verses
I'm just praying somebody say Amen like we in service

'Cuz I
Been trying to get by, been trying to get fly
I'm trying to get one hand on the sky. I said I
Been trying to get by, been trying to get fly
I'm trying to get one hand on the sky like

This for all my ladies that see all these hoes winning
At the end of the day girl, we know they all sinning
When it's judgment day, then they'll surely be repenting
Keep your morals intact, girl, don't let them tell you different
This for all of my fathers with they bitter baby mamas
Always bringing you problems if you ain't bringing in commas
Find space in your heart to love her despite the drama
Promise if you're committed, your children will bring you honor
This for all my people that be steady on the scene
Every picture you've seen has never been what it seems
Get to supporting each other, this a collective thing
We can be stronger together when betting on a dream
This for all my brothers that come from different mothers
Thank you for holding it down regardless of the struggle
I know it isn't easy when you living for the hustle
Make time to settle down and tell your people you love 'em
This for all my young niggas trying to get by
I was no different than you and I ain't have a reason why
Tried to do it alone with the hunger in my eyes
Only thing I was missing was permission from my God

My mother cried
Only mission was survive
And then I died, resurrected from a child
Now I'm alive
Grandma kept me in her prayers, so I know he heard mine
Looked the devil in his eyes
I realized that my purpose is divine
I'm realigned. Now I'm walking out on faith
I'm redefined. I just sent my prayers up, now I'm on the Lord's time
Until then

I'm just trying to get by, just trying to get fly
I'm trying to get one hand on the sky. I said I'm
Just trying to get by, just trying to get fly
I'm trying to keep one hand on the sky like

I'm trying to keep one hand on the sky
This for all my people that been trying to get by
We trying to get... one hand on the sky

Congratulations. You passed the test
You stood tall in the eye of the storm
No longer are you burdened by the past
The future is yours to explore
The old you is dead and gone
The question now is... will you live?
